Last Nights Presentation OF the Popu
lar Opera by the Andrews Company

Last Nights Presentation OF the P0pu.
lar Opera by the Andrews Company.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
popular Andrews opera company had
given two reuditions of the Mikado iii
Yankton before, their third production
of that opera at Turner hall last night
drew a packed house and an a%ppreciative
audience. Though somewhat aged. the
Mikado ever grows old when Ed.
| Andrews imnersonates Ko-Ko. This
character is the chief figure of the opera
and upon its correct delincation much
depends. The company has been some.
what changed since its previous visit to
Yankton. Mi. @. Z. Dennis possesses q
6ne tenor voice, and is an ideal Nsnki-
Poo in form, expression and appearance.
Mr.. Geo Andrewsa MS Poo-Bah needs no
comment. Miss Wilkinson as Yum.Yum
is another new feature and in that part
she makes a good impression. Miss
Bickford as Pitt Sing favorably i'm
pressed Yankton's people, though
their ideal Petit Sing ls Mrs.
Geo. Andrews. who took that
part when Andrews visited Yanktop.
Miss Biokfori's sweet alto voice is q
charming feature. Miss McIntyre's
Katisha is the same as of old, first GLASS
in every respect, while Ed. Andrews, as
Ko-Ko, must be seen to be appreciated,
for he who can describe that character
must be q Ko.Ko himself.
This evening, in Girohe-G iroha, Ed.
Andrews appears as Don Bolero de
Alerazas, a character in which he is as
much q success as in Ko. Ko.
THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY
A fair audience greeted the Andrews
company at Turner hall this afternoon,
upon the occasion of the first presenta-
tion in Yankton of the comic opera,
the Chimes af Normandy. The individ-
ual parts were admirably sustained. Ed.
Andrews impersonated the Marquis of
Bonneville, Geo. Andrews acting the part
of Gaspard, the miser, and Miss Bick-
ford Germsine, the long lost heiress, and
other members the other parts. The
audience was largely composed of child
rem and of course was appreciative.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.
Bradley, the Republican Candidate, will
Probably be Elected.
LOUISVILLE, Kv., Aug 3,

LOUISVILLE, n.y., aug. o.
Returns from 6S counties show net re
publican gain of 81, 1876 If this proportion is
kept up, Buckner's majority will be only "A
to 35 in the entire State. Republicans are
claiming the election of Bradley.
Returns come in very slowly. The official
reports from so out of ll9 counties, show a
democratic loss of 1000 compared with Cleve-
lands majority which WAS "a 900 A: this
rate Backner's plurality will be between 20
and 80, 200. The official vote will be counted
Thursday. The democratic loss compared
with the vote four years ago, in nearly fifty
counties is fully $4,000. The counties heard
from are nearly all republican. Bssing the
estimate on the best attainable figures. Buck
ner's majority will be not less THAI II, 900.
CINCINNATI, o Aug. 3.
The Commercial Gazette's Louisville spec
ial at midnight, says that returns from 70
counties show gains OF "a 900 votes for Bral
ley, republican. The remaining counties
are more strongly republican and will proba
bly, elect him if proportion of the gain holds
out
Fox, prohibitionist, will probably get a.
900 votes.
The democrats have reduced their claim TO
eight thousand majority for Buckner. Only
an official count can relieve the present un-
certainty.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS
Reelected President of the National
Civil Service Reform League.


NEWPORT, Il. L., Aug. 3.
The annual meeting of the National Civil
Service Reform League was opened Wednes-
day Mr.. Geo. Wiilism Curtis delivered his
annual address and he was reelected presi.
dent. Reports from forty associations were
made.
Sherman Rogers reported a membership of
three hundred. The association has 8 large
blance 10 the treasury. Neither of the par
ties in the city is a friend of reform, as a
party, but large proportion of the membe rs
of both parties are in sympathy with the
work of the league.
Gregory reports for Wisconsin, There
are two associations, one in Milwaukee and
the other in Madison. Both are 10 excellent
condition.
Mr. Hitchcock reported for st. Louis
There are three hundred members. Neither
party supports league, but the association
includes many members of both parties. The
association is active and vigorous.
Montgomery of Pennsylvania reported q
satisfactory year for his association. He de-
tailed the controversy with the postmaster of
Philadelphia over the examinations in the
office. The year had been an active one and
especially for Philadelphia. He saw some
rays of light.
Dorman B Eaton inquired if there was
proof that out of 1874 appointments in the post
Office of Philsdelphis, 1872 were of the demo-
cratic party. Montgomery replied that
canvass made by the association showed that
it was true.
MIR. Story reported for Massachusetts,. 1t
was obvious that nothing is to be gained there
from either party. Under the existing con-
troll nothing can be expected there in the
cause of reform and yet the cause is growing
in the State.
Cover of Chicago reported his association
was reduced to two hundred but in active
condition. The association has become con-
vinced of the necessity of some restriction in
the power of removal of extended powers of
commissioners to examine witnesses and give
oaths. also of greater publicity in cases of
removals, etc.
Mr.. Bonaparte of Baltimore was called
upon to tell something about Higgins. He
thought, however, that Hi gins might be left
alone until the report of the committee on
resolutions was received, as he would proba-
bly, form large part of that report. lie had
heard it suggested that President Cleveland
desired the reform system of the country to
have an awful example and had selected the
federal system OF Maryland as that example.
If so, he though the experiment had been
eminently successful.
Senator Foulke of Indiana, reported that
his ASSOCIATION was advancing the cause OF
reform in that State. He averred that the
entire State of Indiana is run by machine
and the reform association is bound hand and
foot, and consigned to the hands of the
spoller.
